My deepest condolences to Bruce's family. Bruce was a good friend and mentor for over 30 years. He and I were often the last to leave PGMS and St. Louis Arborist meetings. Bruce was always generous with his time and willing to provide his honest opinion. He had a great influence on the development of a professional grounds maintenance crew at the Gateway Arch and many other St. Louis institutions when he was with the Missouri Department of Conservation. I will miss him greatly.

Linda and Family----Very sorry to read about the passing of Bruce. I worked many years with him for the Forestry Division, Conservation Department. I hadn't seen him for quite a while but still think of him as a friend.
Best to all of you.

Linda, Bull and I were so sorry to hear about Bruce's death after we returned from an out-of-town trip. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Bruce was a wonderful friend to both of us. Bull knew him through all the ISA stuff and I got to know him when we were both at Monsanto. We always looked forward to seeing you both at the different functions. I am glad we got to visit at the last dinner.
